FantasyGuppy

这颗粉红唇的苹果猪是去年跟砂劳越的一位食虫植物收藏家购买的，收到的时候状况已经不是很好，根部也被压扁了。
一年来也没有特别的照顾， 就把它放在2尺半的terrarium 里面闷着。过后经常出差，加上天气实在是酷热难挡，
跟它同住一屋檐下的椒草也相继的阵亡。 就只有这颗苹果猪， 不但没有刮掉， 还长出侧芽和许多的小猪。 今天趁礼拜天有空，

This was a gift from a crypts collector, its locality is believe to be in Peninsular Malaysia.
The plant is named after professor Niels Jacobsen, Denmark, who made many contributions to the knowledge and discovery of Cryptocoryne.

ADA products are always a fantasy to me. Not because of their sophistication but also
their unique craftmanship and quality.
Do!aqua is a subsidiary products of ADA, but less pricey. I ordered a catalogue directly from

This is a mutated form of C.minima , founded in nothern part of Peninsular Malaysia in year 2007.
It has created a chaos among many cryptocoryne collectors especially the Asian collectors.
The price simply shot up to US$150 per plant during the period when it was first discovered.

This daphnia starter kit is suitable for cultivating live food for fish fries like betta,

Cryptocoryne xtimahensis is endermic to Singapore. They can only be found in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in
Singapore. Its pattern on the leaves is very charming and attractive.
The pictures below show its flower blooming on a emmerse form.

This is the strain that I have kept for more than 5 years.

上周末的槟城第二届食虫植物比赛，最吸引我的就是这两个很特别的玻璃造景缸。 比较小的竟然是我期待已久的 眼镜蛇瓶子草。虽然很清楚自己功力不够， 也没有完善的降温设备， 不过还是很冲动的买了回家。 比较大的像个地球仪，里面的食虫植物可多了，除了土瓶草， 一颗不知名的猪， 还有很多毛毡苔和捕蝇草。 这个很特别的造景缸开价RM500. 贵吗？我想见仁见智吧！ I was totally attracted by these 2 terrariums when I visited the 2nd Penang Carnivorous Plant Competition on end of May. And guess what? the smaller terrarium housed some nice red Darlingtonia, which are among the top of my wish list. The impulsiveness has lured me to bring this small terrarium home, although I truly understand that I might kill them eventually. But my eagerness has overcame all other circumstances and I am the proud owner of these Darlingtonia now. The bigger terrarium housed some nepenthes, droseras and etc , but RM500 was really over my budget and I think I was really happy with my Darlingtonia .

2006年从广州Aquaria 回来后，因为赶时间，要在九月底把缸弄好，所以马上开始计划扩缸。本来想建两个鱼架，每个架28刚。可是因为时间不够，地方也不够， 只好“求求其其“的先建一个鱼架。这次扩缸， 听了很多人的意见，每个人的意见都不同， 搞得我烦死了。最后决定叫我的水喉匠阿山来帮忙， 干脆想要怎么做就叫他怎么做。 本来限他2个星期做好， 哪里知道他只花了4 天就搞定。每天约用了4个小时。他的工细，结果很令人满意！
这次要谢谢几个人：
1。 阿山-我的水喉匠 （约70% 的工作是他帮我完成的）

This plant was purchased from the Penang Floral Fest last year.
They bloomed last month with a spike and some buds. Each flower last for 4-5 days with no
significant fragrance.

C. Scurillis 是在去年底跟日本采集者买回来的珍贵椒草。
此品系有两种颜色的花， 这次收集到的是粉红色的花。
这已经是今年第二次来花， 今天早上看到，真是兴奋无比， 赶紧用相机捕捉起来。
